You don't try to look at the alternatives to Trump: why he, or, rather, the general trend of his policies, is supported. Don't look at the *very* anti-democratic alternatives. Look at how Macron put his opponent under house arrest, how Trudeau seized bank accounts, how your movement shot five bullets into the stomach of Hungary's prime minister, how you want all nations to surrender national sovereignty to unelected and anti-democratic international bodies. Your narrative would make a bit more sense if you demonstrated a modicum of understanding of the broader picture of what has been happening leading up to this in all countries: a worldwide political struggle for democracy, but here you have a convenient strawman: Trump. On and on about Trump.

If you think “Trudeau seized bank accounts” and “Hungary’s prime minister” (which one exactly?) being shot are a reasonable description of international politics, you really need to find more reliable sources of information.

In case you haven’t been paying attention to world events, us Canadians are in the process of trying to preserve our sovereignty from the Americans - who certainly would not give us the right to vote after annexation.

That might have been the PM of Slovakia rather than Hungary, with a few other details mixed up, but a PM did get shot. I have no idea of the relevance. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attempted_assassination_of_Robert_Fico
